Let's say you are attempting to mount an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic File System (EFS) using the mount command and unknown filesystem type 'efs' is displayed.
~]$ sudo mount --types efs --options tls,accesspoint=fsap-0123456789abdefgs fs-9876543210plmokn:/ /mnt
mount: /mnt: unknown filesystem type 'efs'.
This is often resolved by installing the amazon-efs-utils package.
sudo yum install -y amazon-efs-utils
